Why is incest illegal? Is it because some poeple find it "icky" or immoral, or is it because we have found that there are certain genetic problems that come from allowing incest between too-close relatives, for too long or generationally? Plus, along with this, if you are talking about a parent-child relationship or a sibling relationship, then there is good reason to suspect that it is possible that there was some unhealthy influence that led to the relationship. This is the main reason that teacher-student relationships are not allowed.

Now, as long as we are talking about consenting adults, homosexuality has no good reasons to prevent it from being legal and allowing these couples access to the same institutions that heterosexuals can engage in, including married.

Bogus. People can reason that AIDS/HIV can spread through homosexual relations and then spread through bisexual relations. Time and again I see homosexuals suffering from AIDS.... my cousin included.

Except for the fact that heterosexuals get AIDS too. It is not just a homosexual disease. And it is not because they are homosexual that they are at the highest risk, but rather the unsafe sexual practices that some of them participate in, i.e. multiple partners, no protection, anal sex. And, homosexual women are at the lowest risk of getting HIV. So then it again proves that it isn't the sexuality, but rather unsafe sexual participation that spreads the disease.

Re: DADT cloture passes

Yes, I am bigoted against those lifestyles you listed that you think are harmless. If people who practice those things think or say I am bigoted against them, my feelings will not be hurt at all.

But, you don't understand that gay isn't a lifestyle. That's just one of the things you don't get in this debate. You're missing several important points.

Even should they choose to have incest, as in siblings, you have no say as to what they do. Don't be bigoted, lol. I'm also finding websites where people around the world have married animals. Nope, it can't become more tolerated over time, lol. I believe homosexuality is a choice made from influences. I could also state that you're not getting things and that you're missing important points.
